Parse xls/xlsx/xlsm in Node.js

excel node.js xls xlsx xlsm

Running in Node.js, I need to be able to parse cell value's from Excel .xls,.xlsx, and .xlsm.

Are there solutions available? I doubt there's a single module out there that will do the trick, so perhaps there is a way to internally convert two of the formats into the third and have a single format parser?

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, what kind of solution did you come up with?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
